Whale fossil records show large-scale evolutionary changes from their ancestors to their descendants. By inspecting one particular ankle bone, the astragalus, in whale fossil, its shape and structure end a long standing dispute. The whale evolved from artiodactyls and not mesonychids.

Fossil evidence shows relations of whale ancestors and their decendents because fossil remains and the skeletons of common day whales have similar atributes. While some of the physical features are different in the decendents, they are still very similar. The differences could be with the blubber thickness or body size.


I hope this helps : )

What did fungi diverge from?
prisoha [69]
Hopes this helps:

Answer: In 1998 scientists discovered that fungi split from animals about 1.538 billion years ago, whereas plants split from animals about 1.547 billion years ago. This means fungi split from animals 9 million years after plants did, in which case fungi are actually more closely related to animals than to plants.

Have a great day.

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?
galina1969 [7]
The primary function of the chloroplasts in a plant is to convert light from the sun into glucose and energy in a process that is known as photosynthesis. This energy is then used by the plant cells for incredibly important functions such as growth and repair, so the chloroplasts are amongst the most necessary parts of any plant.

what are the evolutionary evidence of giant pandas and why did they stop eating fish anymore PLEASE WHEN ANSWERING WRITE DOWN TH

Http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/seriouslyscience/2015/01/29/pandas-ancestors-ditch-meat-bamboo/



According to this study, it may have had to do with the deactivation (technically known as “pseudogenization”) of an umami taste receptor gene. Umami is the taste that makes things like meat, soy sauce, and mushrooms extra yummy. Apparently, at some point in panda evolution, the umami receptor became non-functional. Based on how much the gene has changed, the authors calculate that this happened around the same time that pandas started eating bamboo. Whether it’s cause or effect is unclear, although the authors think the switch to bamboo may have happened before the gene was lost. Regardless, the loss of the gene reinforced the panda’s vegetarian diet because it made meat less delicious to the bears.

Sorry it's a lot but hope it's useful
